Lonely Planet's ThornTree
The Thorntree is a bulletin board provided to the travel community, the people who wish to exchange travel information and to share experiences they've had on the road. In the ‘Departure Lounge’ find a branch 'Central & Eastern Europe and Caucasus' (that's where Serbia is packed into - click here to be taken there!).  If you decide to post, you will need to register a nickname. This is the best place to ask your fellow travelers whatever you'd like. Amazingly, the most frequent answers to all postings relating to Belgrade come from a Londoner, the excellently informed and tireless Ben Haines!

 ...and the movies you'll like (VHS/DVD)
Do not miss these two movies that give insight into the true nature and effects of the civil war in former Yugoslavia (1992-1995):
.
Savior by P. Antonijevic
(Dennis Quaid, Nastassja Kinski, Natasa Ninkovic)
"I'm not sure that it's appropriate to call a movie like this wonderful as it delves into such dark themes and events, but it is a truly honest and admirable movie..."
Pretty Village, Pretty Flame by S. Dragojevic
"This is one of the greatest anti-war movies I have ever seen."
.
Tito and Me by G. Markovic
"Full of kind-hearted humor, abounding in hilarious episodes, this film is touching and very enjoyable! Its familiar satirical portrayal of the ridiculousness of obsessions associated with the Communist regime..."
Underground
by E. Kusturica
"Absolute masterpiece: directing, performances, music. This is a movie that you should not miss."
Time of the Gypsies by E. Kusturica
"The acting is great, the music superb and the art direction grotesque and masterful. It is a fairy tale, an ethnography, a comic caper and a work of neo-realism. It succeeds at each level..."
The Wounds by S. Dragojevic
"One of the best movies I've ever seen: hardcore, real life, streetz, drugz & thugz."
